Desire to serve. Don't desire the grandeur of leading. Focus on what you want to do. Don't focus on what you want to be.That is how you become a reliable agent of positive change. That is how you remain a resilient source of impact. That is how you breath hope into other's lives

President Moi humiliated his VP Kibaki. He fired him from Cabinet. Kibaki became president. Kikuyu Mafia wanted him to prosecute Moi. He refrained. He said no bad word against Moi. Goldenberg Commission demanded he present Moi at the Commission for questioning as prime suspect.
